Just how sensitive are the values of the parallel inductor and capacitor in a tank circuit to the efficiency of the transmitter frequency in a crystal controlled transmitter.
I use single transistor, crystal controlled transmitters in my Box turtle research, but don't know if I am getting the most from my design. Here is my radio page on my research web site. **broken link removed**
I've tried to use web based calculators to determine the value of the C in the tank circuit but don't know if I should trust them, and don't really have a way to test. I am centered around 150 mhz transmit frequency.
Any ideas that could help me?
